Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille March 9th 2016
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The temple bells were ringing non stop. He ran up the cliff to see
who was causing that incessant ringing. As he got near the temple
what he saw made him stop…shocked. There was no one there. The
bells were swinging fiercely to and forth. There was no wind to
cause the movement. What on earth was causing it? Carefully he
entered the temple. As he went near the idols, he saw a face emerge .
It was not clear as to who it was.He was scared to venture any closer.
But the bells went on ringing louder and louder. The scraggly boy
was now trembling with fear. He thought of turning back and run
down the hill. As he turned …the temple gates had closed. Dusk had
set in. The cacophony of bird calls was sounding ominous. As he
turned to face the idols again, he saw the face that had emerged ,
taking a distinct form. He went closer. Oh …what he saw made him
dumbstruck. That was his father! After all those years of his father
passing away, he had lost hope that he would ever see him again.
He did not even have a picture of him.Tears rolled down his cheeks.
After all God had answered his prayers.Finally he got to see his dad.
The bells had now stopped ringing.
The temple gates opened….and the face disappeared.

those memories

On opening my eyes…I realized a new year had started. But nothing was new…the same sun streaming through my windows, the same sound of my alarm , the same routine! Then as i heard the pitter patter of my new puppy’s feet, the warm wet licks on my face…i realized the newness in my life.
…………
each day is new
when you surround yourself
with happiness

the ocean..kikobun
It was breathtaking. As I stepped out of my hotel room, the whole universe was out to greet me. The vastness of the ocean was unbelievable. I felt small and lost in front of the natures magnanimity. It was as if the skies and the ocean were one. Never before had I realised the beauty of the world.
as deep as my mind
it holds secrets unknown
the ocean beckons

memories… Kikôbun

I have been travelling for the past fifteen days. One day as I stood at the window of my hotel room, a very fine wind was blowing. Even though I was miles away from home, the wind seemed to have the same feel as it was there at my place.
wind carries memories
of my childhood, of home and hearth
the fragrance all pervading

The Angel…a haibun.
The Angel.
He was my angel. What do angels do? They bring you loads of happiness. They make you feel loved and wanted at all times. They make life worth living. That and more was my little pet dog Snowy. He gave me unlimited happiness for 13 years and when he left me, he left behind unparalleled love. Nothing can compare to the warmth I feel when I remember his small furry body sleeping next to me on my bed.
the warmth still surrounds me
the eyes filled with pure love
i feel him around somewhere
